In October 2018, Mary Beth was the recipient of the highest honor awarded to an OTA team member, the Above and Beyond Award, which is given to network members who make a major contribution to the entire Online Trading Academy business. “I am so proud of Mary Beth and all she and her team have accomplished in Houston,” said Gene Longobardi, Chief Operating Officer. “We can always count on her to provide great insight and wisdom on our Franchise Advisory Council and to actively participate in business innovations and network events. She is a credit to our entire system!”

For Motisi, the choice to open her franchise was not a difficult one. After working her way up the corporate ladder at McDonald’s through hard work and determination, she became interested in the stock market and began classes with Online Trading Academy. After benefitting as a student, Motisi moved from Wisconsin to Texas to open her own franchise almost a decade ago.

“Being a student at OTA changed my life, and I wanted to bring that same opportunity to others. I am so proud to represent this community and this company,” said Motisi. “My campus is a direct reflection of myself,” she explained “I love who we are, what we do, and how we do it.”

For Online Trading Academy, it does not come as a surprise that Motisi was selected for this award. Even when faced with personal and professional challenges, Motisi continues to emulate the enduring, determined, and compassionate spirit that makes her such a valuable member of the OTA family.

“There are some many fantastic success stories out there; it was painful to narrow our list down to just 50 Rockstar Franchisees,” said Michelle Rowan, President of Franchise Business Review. “There were hundreds of deserving business owners. In the end, we picked 50 that really stood out. Franchisees that not only excel in their businesses but provide strong leadership within their franchise organizations and their local communities.”
